• 1:32
  Gloria Glorilla Glrod Optimists, Fine, the Liberal Mermaid four Sports is seven
• 1:38
  years ago, Lord of Lightsabers and Tatiana King the Conqueror. Okay, so
• 1:44
  you just threw in that one Transformers reference where all beinging on me with the
• 1:48
  rest of the A listen. I only had that one, and I was
• 1:51
  like, let me just do some solid ones that I already had. So
• 1:53
  okay, I feel that I understand. But as you heard by my aka's
• 2:00
  and a few of TA town as, we are here to talk about Transfomas
• 2:06
  rise. That's right, Benham. We were at the New York premier in
• 2:12
  Brooklyn at King's Theater. We was in there official on the red carpet too.
• 2:17
  You've seen your girl on the red carpet, DJ ben HAMI was getting
• 2:22
  picks and videos with everybody, the entire cast, including special guests that showed
• 2:28
  out like Ryan Googler. I saw that, yes, and we were both
• 2:31
  looking fresh to death. You know, we hadn't put it on for y'all,
• 2:36
  and I'm saying, put that drip, you know, just just this
• 2:38
  dude, what we do when we can do it. As I said,
• 2:42
  so had a great time. It was a good experience. Um. I
• 2:45
  know I got some free popcorn and drinks and stuff about you. I did
• 2:49
  not. I've actually been bastable on my liquor consumption. I saw the table
• 2:53
  well I'm talking about non alcoholic drinks. It was like soda and water.
• 2:57
  Yeah, I saw that too, but I missed. You know, there's
• 2:59
  a lot of it was a lot going on. Let me all right,
• 3:01
  let me tell you it was a lot. The Keens Theater, first of
• 3:05
  all, is amazing, beautiful, amazing, but also massive, massive,
• 3:10
  And it was as you've seen from my picks, and that was just half
• 3:15
  of the people in there. There was all kinds of people that I wish
• 3:17
  I got to take some pictures with it. I didn't wish I got to
• 3:20
  talk to. I mean, and I was talking to everybody named Mama,
• 3:23
  and people was mad, chill. It was a great vibe in there.
• 3:25
  All people were in the same theater with us watching the flick. So it
• 3:30
  was a really great night. You know, you saw me in town looking
• 3:32
  up in there shop you know, office attack. Yeah, I gotta say
• 3:37
  that. Somebody said that I looked casket clean, and I'm like, black
• 3:39
  people, we have to work. We gotta stop saying that we gotta I
• 3:43
  deleted that comment. I can't remember who you were because I've beat it so
• 3:46
  fast, bro, because it's like, we gotta work on these things.
• 3:47
  We gotta stop saying that we got I understand, but I don't ever want
• 3:53
  to hear that again in my life. I don't ever want to be referred
• 3:55
  to that sharp. None of that. Yeah, can I alive? Sharp?
• 4:00
  Like yeah, I don't want to be fresh to death, fam,
• 4:03
  you know what I mean? None of that? Okay, But what we
• 4:09
  are on is this Transformance Rise to the Beast, And like I said,
• 4:13
  the experience was amazing. Um, this movie comes out this week. I
• 4:17
  don't really think that there are much to spoil that is not out there.
• 4:23
  I just googled the ending of the film and it's not even like on Reddit
• 4:28
  or anything. It's like widely available the bid at the end, and that
• 4:31
  was May twenty eighth by the time you hear this. So this is pretty
• 4:35
  much to be a spoiler review because they just ain't much. I mean,
• 4:40
  it's a Transformance movie, dog, this is it's like the eighth one of
• 4:43
  these and that's what I want to say. So, like it's a Transformers
• 4:47
  movie, and this is from this is a child of Michael Bay, right
• 4:53
  of the Rain, child of when when he came out with the first but
• 4:56
  the first two or the first three, like where he was actually directed with
• 5:00
  then he switched over to being an executive producer, like this is from that
• 5:03
  lineage, and it has not strayed that far from that lineage, right,
• 5:06
  has it gotten a little better? Yeah, I guess it's because Michael Bay
• 5:11
  is a very competent director for what he does. Okay, yeah, you
• 5:15
  never like The Rock, the movie The Rock? Yeah? With said The
• 5:23
  Rock, I think John Johnson, Sean Connery and Nick Cage that. Yeah,
• 5:33
  that's a good one. That's that's a solid like his early solid.
• 5:36
  That's cool. His shit is cool. That's not the problem. It's just
• 5:41
  it's a Transformers movie. And when I say that, I mean it's not
• 5:46
  much to think on or dwell on or really consider. That's a great word.
• 5:58
  That's not too much ton sire. Like it's a movie based off of
• 6:02
  the beloved and I'm and I've always like I grew up with First of all,
• 6:06
  I grew up with beast Wars, right, so nesess the stage my
• 6:10
  Transformers started with beast Wars. So when you know this shit popped up Rise
• 6:16
  of the Beast. I got excited. You know, when I seen Optimist
• 6:18
  Prime on all stuff, I said, oh my god, that's my childhood.
• 6:21
  Oh my god, I've seen it. I've seen I'm ready. So
• 6:24
  that got me hype. But I also understood, Hey, but this is
• 6:27
  still at the end of the day, even though he's not directed, it
• 6:29
  doesn't matter. This is still the Michael Bay's child of Transformer movies, understand.
• 6:33
  So it has that approach where it's kind of kind of cheesy, kind
• 6:38
  of cheesy, questionable dialogue, questionable writing and decision making, but it's just
• 6:45
  like you're not thinking about any of that. You're just like, I want
• 6:46
  to see giant robots fight each other. Yes, and Optimist Prime speak like
• 6:53
  you know Storm's cousin or something, right, like, because because I'm as
• 6:56
  Prime, he's very it's very extra. He's very and I'm talking about Storm
• 7:01
  ridiculously violent. He is on the load too, but he always gets He's
• 7:04
  always been like like he was snap. And that's why I don't like like
• 7:12
  if people say, like I fused with Optimists because my thing is, then
• 7:15
  Nigga will lose it and go in on somebody or something if he needs to
• 7:20
  and before anyone says that's not Optims Prime, like, let me set the
• 7:25
  stage here. I'm an original you know Transformers head like from day one when
• 7:29
  they debuted, and then Transformers the movie, the original animated g One Joint
• 7:34
  is some of like that's that one when you know, we asked the question
• 7:38
  what death hurts you the murder most. It's not even Optimist Primes death in
• 7:42
  that film, it's everyone else who gets bodied as on the way, because
• 7:46
  the original animated film is very violent, mad characters. They're murder and Optimists
• 7:50
  himself goes on a wild killing spree at one point. And again I may
• 7:55
  have come like a generation later, but like they were still wild Violet yea
• 7:59
  from that onwards. So they stayed with that. After the movie, they
• 8:03
  were like, Okay, we can murder the problems. Like Optimist is always
• 8:05
  about finding the good, finding the good, and like you can you can,
• 8:09
  you can talk about that. But I think at the end of the
• 8:11
  day, he bought that life and he got held Optimists. Even when the
• 8:16
  Optimist is down, he's always gonna come back up, like he always back
• 8:20
  up back out on the streets. You know, tell the word, we
• 8:24
  back up all that. Yeah, so so I'm just so just to give
• 8:28
  you just some something that framing like, it's it's it's I'm not going to
• 8:33
  grade a transform formerst movie at the same level that I would or even give
• 8:39
  it that same type of I guess interrogation as I would give maybe a Chris
• 8:45
  Nolan movie, right like, I'm gonna do that because I don't because it's
• 8:50
  never been built that way in my view, I'm trying to think of the
• 8:54
  most opposite movie Transformers. That's pretty much it. You've pretty nailed it on
• 8:58
  the head. And I would have to say inception is the opposite of a
• 9:03
  like, come on, bro, I had the most complicated opposite day movie
• 9:07
  from the Transforms, and I thought of immediately, yeah, I didn't even
• 9:11
  really like what he called. And I've watched a bunch of times. Don't
• 9:13
  at me, Yeah, don't at me. I get it. I just
• 9:16
  don't care get it. And I was just like, oh, yeah,
• 9:20
  I don't care. Yeah, oh that's cool. But anyway, continue.
• 9:24
  But I also feel like that is one thing that is kind of disappointing,
• 9:28
  Like, Okay, I really enjoyed Bumblebee. I only saw it one time,
• 9:33
  but I felt like it even had a little bit more than this one
• 9:35
  does, like okay, yeah, just in terms of like, yeah,
• 9:39
  I don't know if it was Haiti star Starnfeld Steenfeld that carried it, but
• 9:43
  you know, she's so great that she might have just made it a little
• 9:46
  bit better than it was in the first place. But I really liked that
• 9:50
  one, you know, that was like where I was like, wow,
• 9:52
  surprised, you know, like this is a dope movie. Ye, like
• 9:56
  this and that's what it is. I finally found the word for it.
• 10:00
  I've never seen transformers, transformers films as complex movies. Yes, something,
• 10:05
  you really, but we're more complex than than than this and the majority of
• 10:11
  them, so I don't So I'm not gonna be like, oh, this
• 10:15
  is a you know, just a cinema like absolutely, not like it's a
• 10:18
  movie. It's absolutely a movie. It's a do you want to sit there,
• 10:22
  eat your popcorn, watch them cool shit happened? Yes, But could
• 10:26
  it be? It's the question. It could be, but if it require
• 10:28
  a different form of writing, it require a completely different approach. That being
• 10:31
  said, I do want to give praise to the director of Rise of the
• 10:37
  b Stephen Capel Junior. There you go. A black man did not realize
• 10:41
  that I did not realize going in, and that was a black guy that
• 10:43
  they have not promoted this enough, directed this movie, you know, straight
• 10:46
  up, like you got a black man promoting, I mean directing your movie.
• 10:50
  You should promote the movie. You really should. And you know,
• 10:52
  um, I think he did a great job. And again it's still the
• 10:56
  framework of what I know of the Transformers movies, the modern day transformist movies,
• 11:01
  Like it's still within that framework. So yeah, but it looked good
• 11:05
  too, Like you were saying, like this is how I judge the Transformance
• 11:09
  movies, Like you say, I don't judge them like a Nolan film.
• 11:11
  I judge them like a fast and furious film, Like I know it's going
• 11:16
  to be a summertime movie that fr come out not damn there every summer life
• 11:20
  fast and furious, but with regularity, and there's gonna be ups and downs,
• 11:26
  but overall, if I'm looking to see say Optimists at some point turn
• 11:31
  into a psychopath and kill a bunch of other robots in great, you know,
• 11:35
  glorious ways, I can judge them on that. And it's like,
• 11:37
  Okay, how did the Optimist serve fools this time, you know, And
• 11:41
  then it's like, what were the moments that I remember? Like in this
• 11:45
  one, it was definitely RC and the I'm not sure if my man's name
• 11:52
  ball his life was in the up, but it's RC. In another Robot
• 11:58
  Ye Down. You've seen some of them in the trailers. In the Racing
• 12:03
  down the road, rockets are flying at them and there's a quick ill shot
• 12:07
  where the rocket flies through and the van's doors open, and you know,
• 12:11
  shit like that. It's like, okay, I'm here for this. You
• 12:15
  know that whole sequence was fired. You know, from beginning to end.
• 12:18
  That was a fantastic action sequence. And it's like the same thing with Fast
• 12:22
  Interferior. It's like, I remember, you know, Dwayne the Rod Johnson
• 12:24
  grabbing the torpedo with his hands in that one. I can even name nine.
• 12:28
  Eight, that's eight And you were referring to Crystal Fernandez, Crystal Fernandez
• 12:33
  will Jack. Yes, my man, Crystal Fernandez got to take a picture
• 12:37
  with him and tell him how much Ted Lasso means to me. So that
• 12:41
  was great. And this is another thing about the Transformers. It's one of
• 12:43
  them uh franchises, like the Godzilla franchises where you'll see people who it's like
• 12:48
  a time capsule of what's popping dot Net at any different time, Like so
• 12:56
  Fernandez, it's in this joint because it's soon Met Toby, my boy is
• 13:01
  up in this because list right now. I call movies like this mortgage movies,
• 13:09
  right, And I think I got that from Kimson Stop Out to Kimson,
• 13:11
  Albert the God, the Ambition God, um mortgage movies like, yes,
• 13:16
  they're not there to be. Let's sit there and think about the complex
• 13:20
  leaders and the depth of it. It's like, I need a bag,
• 13:22
  and this is gonna make some money. So here we are. I want
• 13:26
  to say, Alfred, What's what's the Alfred m in the Michael Caine right,
• 13:31
  Michael Caine. I want to say it's attributed to Michael Caine. It's
• 13:33
  a famous proe where someone asked him about some movie that he was in and
• 13:37
  he was like, my dear boy, I've never seen that film, but
• 13:39
  I've seen the House paid For Okay, I ain't never seen that, Drake,
• 13:48
  but I know the house I live in because of it, you know.
• 13:52
  So I can't tell you a line from that film. My boat came
• 13:56
  from that movie I stand like and I like just be on right honest.
• 14:01
  So so like again just setting the stage that being said, you already mentioned
• 14:05
  a few people who were in this film. Um, overall, what was
• 14:09
  your take? Did you like this film? Did you think it was great?
• 14:11
  Did you think it was I? Like, personally I thought it was
• 14:16
  I. I thought it was I you know, I can't lie, Like,
• 14:18
  Okay, this is the other problem right now, ye about to say
• 14:24
  it. The suthing we were on it like the summer has been hot,
• 14:28
  like these streets have been hot unexpectedly again, unexpectedly because normally I can't lie.
• 14:33
  It's what beginning of June normally, by now I'm already like, fuck,
• 14:39
  you know what I mean, the summer weak as hell. Yeah,
• 14:41
  something come out. Yeah. They front load the summer always, and it'll
• 14:45
  be like the sneakers that come in in the middle of summer where you're like,
• 14:48
  oh, I didn't expect that to be that dope. But it's like
• 14:50
  the front loadeds are always the big dogs. You know. It's like,
• 14:52
  this is the one we gotta have hit and then we want to get that
• 14:56
  rest of that money for the whole summer if we can, and did us
• 14:58
  some mess, you know, I can't leave. Most of those are usually
• 15:01
  like where I'm like, it's like, but it will be like the Marvel
• 15:05
  Room where I'm like hype for it didn't by the time you see it,
• 15:07
  like all that was I you know, it wasn't nuhing like that. But
• 15:11
  this summer it was like, well a man was like the early summer and
• 15:15
  you were like, god, damn, oh, oh, let's to watch.
• 15:18
  You know, it could be tight, and then Guardians came out.
• 15:22
  You're like, whoa, that was solid, you know, Spider Verse.
• 15:24
  I mean, y'all have heard our view like it. You know, I've
• 15:26
  seen it twice. I'm feeding to see it a third time. You know
• 15:30
  what more can I say? Um the Flash which by now you might have
• 15:35
  heard our view as well, and you know, pretty damn good, you
• 15:39
  know for a Flash movie, you know, especially for a DC movie,
• 15:41
  Very solid, very entertaining. You know, I would not take that away
• 15:46
  from that movie. It is an entertaining summer movie. And so it's been
• 15:50
  like some bangers and Transformance comes out and it's like, Okay, cool girl,
• 15:58
  this is fine. Yeah, Like I'm not gonna like and it's like
• 16:03
  I also want to be very quick. I'm not gonna say it like y'all
• 16:06
  was boring. It was, but it's also like this is also listen,
• 16:11
  we critically review these works, right, so we we are often teking you
• 16:18
  to the depths and the different levels and the themes and everything that goes into
• 16:21
  it. When it's something where we admittedly see that there is none of that,
• 16:25
  or there's maybe it's maybe lightweight on that tip. You know, we
• 16:27
  we gotta be fair. I'm also honest about it, right, So,
• 16:33
  like it was I like, I don't know, I'm trying to think like
• 16:37
  was there and maybe Fast and Furious is it? Were there as simple and
• 16:40
  not the latest, but like in general, were there like more simple movies
• 16:44
  where it was like there's not too much to it, but it was the
• 16:47
  latest nothing? Right? Yeah? Yeah? And then and it's the Ben's
• 16:52
  point, like we this is coming to us coming off of seeing like Spider
• 16:56
  Verse, Like we just freaking saw a Spider Verse and the monster that that
• 17:02
  was, and then it's like, okay, yeah, like this is uh,
• 17:04
  you know, off the subject kind of but also related Like the other
• 17:08
  day on I watched Shazam two and we did the review, and I'm basically
• 17:14
  questioning you about it because I had not seen it. Yeah, woff,
• 17:17
  I would have. I would have given that when you know a D minus
• 17:19
  that bad. It wasn't. Oh my god, dog, I struggled him.
• 17:29
  It took me like four hours because I kept walking away to do other
• 17:30
  thing. Yeah. Yeah, I just felt I just felt transformer rice to
• 17:36
  becase. I thought it was. I. Uh, my thing is if
• 17:38
  everyone and again that we were in the king stater so it was completely packed
• 17:41
  all the people, and people was enjoying themselves. And to me, that's
• 17:47
  like an average movie Google goer. If you're an average movie goal, you're
• 17:49
  just there for you, there for what you came for. You're gonna get
• 17:52
  what you came for. And I'm enjoying myself. That's the thing. Okay,
• 17:57
  like I thought on school, Yeah, it wasn't like on the level
• 18:00
  of like how I entertained. I was by the flash like in the classic.
• 18:06
  I was not overwhelmed. I wasn't whelmed, and I wasn't underwhelmed.
• 18:10
  You know, I was somewhere midwhelmed, I guess, but that's what I
• 18:14
  mean. That's so you're basically saying mid because that's that I don't want to
• 18:17
  say I understand, but that's like a point of neutrality. That's a point
• 18:21
  of neutrality that you just mentioned you were, like, I wasn't overwhelmed.
• 18:22
  I don't, okay, So where the fuck was you? And I was
• 18:25
  a bit overwhelmed, but not quite overwhelmed? Anna, maybe you Okay,
• 18:32
  I'm gonna tell you how I was if I didn't see that in the theater
• 18:34
  and it like if it just I santed passing like on TVs, I'm all
• 18:38
  right, cool, yes, But that's how I feel about Fastiferio. It's
• 18:45
  like I would definitely, but because I loved the series War and so that's
• 18:48
  something like if people love the Transformers, but it's not like they have any
• 18:52
  characters coming back, you know, Tyrese used to be in a series like
• 18:57
  yeah, and that I mean people's love for Bumblebee as wild. He's never
• 19:03
  been my favorite Transformer, the way they turn him into a rampage and murderer.
• 19:07
  It's also it's like you keep saying that, but they've been on that
• 19:11
  head But I know, I know, I know, But I just go
• 19:14
  back to original g One and like g One, bubble Bee is self especially
• 19:18
  soft like the rest of the Transformers were hardcore when it came down to it,
• 19:22
  but Bumblebee was that. He was Bumboobee my man's name is. But
• 19:26
  they still have that, like I will say, like when it comes to
• 19:29
  them, you see that softness like he's the arm in again another Tackle Titan
• 19:33
  reference, he's the arming of the bunch where it's like he's known as a
• 19:37
  soft one. But then when he gets enough xp he gonna he's gonna go
• 19:41
  in so and that's what you see with Bumblebe and that's fine by me.
• 19:45
  Yeah, No, I have the thing is right before anyone's hating or anything,
• 19:48
  I have no problem with them. Blasts of fools. Like one of
• 19:51
  my favorite moments in this that can kill Jazz bro. But I mean,
• 19:57
  you forgot no end the movie. They killed Ironheide, the Jazz survives,
• 20:03
  They kill Ironhy, they kill what's the man Braun, they kill a bunch
• 20:07
  of people randomly. Optimists runs over one of the accepted talking about the original
• 20:12
  movie. Yeah. Always, every time I'm talking about a movie, I'm
• 20:15
  always talking about Michael Bay. Oh yeah he did murder Jazz didn't. That's
• 20:18
  what I'm saying. Yeah, the problem with Michael Bay I don't know.
• 20:21
  I don't know nothing about g one, Like that's not my ship, so
• 20:25
  I wasn't even here. So yeah, well that original Michael Bay joint.
• 20:27
  Like I don't even remember who got murder because they all look alike and so
• 20:32
  it's kind of like, you know, Catchers didn't murder randomly, I didn't
• 20:34
  realize it was Jazz didn't murder. I know Megatron gets murdered in one of
• 20:37
  them. I remember that moment because he gets his head chopped off, conserved
• 20:41
  it. Yeah, I think Optimist chopped the man's head off. That was
• 20:44
  that's Optimist Ben beheaded. But he went in and this one I was loving
• 20:49
  it. No, he like, that's that's that's kind of new Ben.
• 20:51
  So like rampage, I'm doing that. It's like you go to Jason's movies
• 20:56
  to see him go on a murders rampage. I go to Transformace movies to
• 21:00
  see Optimists on murders remas like he gets fed up with me and he's unhinged.
• 21:03
  Let's be clear. No, No, he's not unhinged. Heired the
• 21:07
  man is also unhinged. He's unhinged because and I said earlier, and I
• 21:11
  didn't get the finish. I thought when I said he'd be talking like Storm,
• 21:14
  I'm talking about old school Storm Fox kids Storm on Storm were talking about
• 21:17
  I command the East, the winds of the East, and the west and
• 21:18
  and and the mountainous plains of the north. And when he should be going
• 21:23
  on all like that, my man just behead him. I don't need all
• 21:33
  this commentary. Yeah, I swear there's a YouTube clip. I didn't know
• 21:37
  he said this in the movie because I think people were screaming it wasn't in
• 21:40
  this This is an old one. And like I can't remember what he says.
• 21:42
  People probably know by me referencing it, But he said some of the
• 21:45
  most wild shit walker in this one, dude, And it's so funny.
• 21:52
  That's what I'm saying. Peter Cullen is out there at eighty two years old,
• 21:57
  God bless his stole, still delivering these lines with you know, like
• 22:03
  if he was twenty two, Like my ma hand does not give a fuck
• 22:06
  in the world. He is going to make optimists like you are going to
• 22:08
  believe optimists every time. He's gonna believe. The man is uninjed. Look,
• 22:15
  he's been fighting this war for I'm tired to take it else. Yeah,
• 22:19
  that's literally every every movie. And that's what I'm saying. Why I
• 22:22
  don't even though I'm making fun of him, I don't like I'm still on
• 22:26
  the side of it. Yes, because he's always gonna come up. He's
• 22:29
  gonna get tired to take an else because he's gonna take it elk, he's
• 22:32
  being too soft and he goes, you know what I'm about to I'm about
• 22:34
  to take your head off. Notice that that is the common theme. And
• 22:37
  damn there every movie by the end, he's taking somebody head o, taking
• 22:41
  somebody's head off. Boys off. Um, So this movie besides the Transformers
• 22:49
  and the terra Cons Maximals, no, no, I'm talking I know the
• 22:56
  Maximals, but that's the good side. I'm talking about the I'm talking about
• 23:00
  on this. I don't know what the niggas was because like that that that
• 23:04
  might be a change up because okay, well in the original animated film,
• 23:11
  Unicron takes Megatron, turns them to Galvatron takes uh. It's like two other
• 23:17
  cats. I can't remember their name. They were just Decepticons and he makes
• 23:19
  them Scourge and whatever the other nigga's name is and so, and they were
• 23:26
  like because they were near death, like you know, Megatron and all the
• 23:30
  niggas have gotten beat to death by Optimists. Megatron to kill the Optimists,
• 23:34
  and then Starstream, being the trader's bastardy was, throws them out into space
• 23:40
  where their corpses float and then they meet Unicron and Unicron transforms them Megatron andto
• 23:45
  Galvatron powers them up. He made them the Heralds of Galactis because Unicron is
• 23:52
  a glacist type. Right. So so this film, this film features the
• 23:56
  autobots as well as the Maximum Again, this is the side of quote unquote
• 24:00
  good. Right. Then you have the Predacons, which we're quote unquote pretty
• 24:06
  because depending on who you talk to, they're like, I don't funk with
• 24:07
  them, so anyway, true, um, but yes they're the good guys,
• 24:11
  right, And then you have the Predacons and the terra Cons. The
• 24:14
  Terra Cons is like Scourge and the rest of them, the Predacons was in
• 24:18
  this. I used to have the toys. That's what it says that none
• 24:23
  of them niggas well, that they also was lying about the Maximus quote being
• 24:26
  in it, because the Predacons were the illest, like especially Toys because they
• 24:32
  were like biggest fuck and you can take five of them. And they made
• 24:34
  a big, lying headed like transformer, you know, like you know,
• 24:38
  when they formed like a voltron type thing. I can't remember his name,
• 24:41
  but oh man, they were a dope toy and they looked nothing like nothing
• 24:45
  in this movie. Yeah, okay, I've got one question, you know,
• 24:48
  before we go any further, because this has been probably bugging me for
• 24:51
  about fifteen twenty years. And since you're a fan of Beast for as you
• 24:55
  might be explaining this to me, why the hell did it matter that they
• 24:57
  look like animals when they're like thirty feet hall like these niggas is not hiding
• 25:03
  anywhere because animals are cool. I mean, I get that, okay,
• 25:11
  And they're in they all in the jungle and there's no intervention. There's no
• 25:15
  humans in the cartoon. I don't recall there ever, And if there was,
• 25:19
  Beast me but I've never like the big dog like with like the ape,
• 25:23
  like the biggest ape in the jungle and he just ran the rest of
• 25:26
  the ape. From my recogllection of Beast words, first of all, it
• 25:29
  was cgi and it was in hindsight really really really bad, But at the
• 25:33
  time I thought it was amazing, right, And I never recall seeing a
• 25:37
  human. I'm not saying there were none, so someone will correct me.
• 25:40
  I don't give a fuck. I've never seen no humans. And anytime my
• 25:45
  recogllition recollection pulls that imagery imagery up, they were always in the jungle or
• 25:48
  out of volcano or in some outsized random area of Earth or whatever planet they
• 25:56
  were on. So and they were just interacting with other animals or other cons,
• 26:00
  right, So I don't, I don't. I don't think it's a
• 26:03
  problem that they was a thirty foot tall snake like whore. I think you're
• 26:07
  right about that, because I think the lore is that they wake up before
• 26:11
  the auto box, like they crashed with the arc early art early early,
• 26:15
  and then they wake up. Even in this movie, they said they've been
• 26:18
  and they've been on Earth for like Alannia something. Who So that that that
• 26:22
  does make more sense, that's all. And I probably just should have thought
• 26:25
  of that before I asked that question. But you know, dam I'm sure
• 26:27
  someone else has. Hey, So, besides all the I call them the
• 26:33
  cons, But besides all these things and robots and transformers and robots and the
• 26:37
  skuies and whatnot, you have the Humans, right, so you have Anthony
• 26:42
  Anthony Lamos played by no excuse me, no Idea as played by Anthony Ramos
• 26:48
  about right, Definitely. At that moment I said it, I was like,
• 26:55
  you know, this kind of feels interchangeable. Post might beat, but
• 26:59
  no Anthony Ramas. I know he's been in a lot of things, but
• 27:02
  I was introduced to Anthony Ramas when when he played Mars and Man. Yeah.
• 27:07
  Yeah, he's been around for a minute before that. He has Hamilton,
• 27:11
  I think Hamilton, But I knew him way before that, and I
• 27:15
  was never like the biggest fan of his. But then like as he's gotten
• 27:18
  older, I feel like he's running them actors who's And that's what's really interested.
• 27:22
  I want to see him as like when he's in his thirties and his
• 27:26
  forties, I think he'll be really killing a thing. Like as he gets
• 27:27
  older, he seems to get more you know, yeah, you know,
• 27:33
  yeah, seasoning, you know what I mean, Like his life is giving
• 27:36
  him more where now I'm like, Okay, I really fun with him,
• 27:38
  Like even in this role, which is not much Stewart, I really fucked
• 27:41
  with him. Yeah. Also, you have the Great Dominique fishback who's plays
• 27:47
  and Lena Wallace. I love Dominique again. She's come off a great tour
• 27:52
  doing the doing Swarm, playing the main character and Swarm. And you know,
• 27:56
  I was introduced to her through Project Power, that the Jamie Fox led
• 28:00
  film YEP on Netflix. That's how I that's like I learned about who she
• 28:06
  was. And ever since then I was like kind of like following her along
• 28:07
  her career. You mentioned it a few times, Toby and Nigue. He
• 28:11
  was there a week. He was good. He actually he did a very
• 28:15
  good job. And I will say that, I will say like, like
• 28:18
  Anthony did a good job. He did a good job. Um. Dean
• 28:21
  Scott Vasquez who plays Christyaz Noah's little brother, he did a really good job
• 28:26
  as well. Um. And then and I'm so mad that she's credited as
• 28:30
  just missus Diaz, but their mom was played by Lauren Luna Lauren Vells.
• 28:38
  I mean that role was very light, you know, honestly, I think
• 28:41
  she only had three lines. If that didn she like walk in and leave
• 28:45
  and that was it. She said in the beginning, she said something.
• 28:48
  Then at the end she just gave him a hug. I don't even think
• 28:51
  she said anything. I don't remember. I just remember Herbie at the beginning.
• 28:56
  Yeah, you don't even remember. Yeah, she was at the end.
• 28:56
  She just like gave him a hug, and I was the end of
• 28:59
  that. But Um Davidson, Pete. Yeah, So let me go down
• 29:03
  too, because again, there there are people and there are also voice acting,
• 29:06
  right, any more people we need to mention a lot, a lot.
• 29:08
  Then let me get to that. I was very happy hearing Michelle Yo's
• 29:14
  voice. Michelle Yo, she played or voiced the character of air Raiser.
• 29:18
  No, I meant, were there any more people we need to mention people?
• 29:21
  Yeah, I'm sure Michelle Um. Peter Dinklish played did the voice of
• 29:26
  Scourge. Yeah, he was good. Yeah, I did not know that
• 29:29
  it was who he was playing. I didn't realize it either, so and
• 29:32
  of course yes. And then you have Ron Perelman, who played Optimist Primal,
• 29:36
  the voice of Optimist Primal. Peter Colin continues as voice of Optimist Prime.
• 29:41
  We also mentioned Pete Davidson. He played the excuse me. He voiced
• 29:45
  the character of mirage Um, which is like a Newish crowd favorite, right
• 29:51
  at least at least for the film. Uh, Liza Cose she she voiced
• 29:56
  r C. I know you said you loved arc And and Arci goes back
• 30:02
  to the first animated film. That's when she first showed up, and this
• 30:04
  was her first introduction to live action. I think she was the first female
• 30:10
  transformer. I don't know. Yeah, I feel like she might have.
• 30:17
  I don't know. And then I think so tong Gai Teresa played cheet or
• 30:22
  cheetor Um. I was a little annoyed because I was like I saw cheat
• 30:26
  or but I didn't hear cheat or do anything or say anything. She had
• 30:30
  one line or he when he was when he landed on top of the other,
• 30:36
  Yeah, he said something in the crowd cheered, but I couldn't rehear
• 30:38
  it. No, I didn't hear it, and it was it was like
• 30:42
  I wasn't sure if that was a line he said yeah or just because it
• 30:47
  was. It was weird to me when I was a kid, like I
• 30:48
  always like loved Cheetah, so like that was one of my favorite rope,
• 30:52
  you know, Transformers or whatever, so like for me to just see it
• 30:55
  but nothing really happened, I was like, Okay, yeah, I feel
• 30:57
  like cheat or had like one, like that's what I'm saying, and I
• 31:00
  felt like, and also for those who think you're gonna get best wards out
• 31:04
  of this film, you're not. You're not. And that's very wars light.
• 31:08
  That's what I was asking me because like, like, okay, the
• 31:11
  original Transformers cartoon was super goofy and like I cannot sit through it. You
• 31:15
  know, let's be real. It is ridiculously like every episode is just so
• 31:19
  trifling and there's humans all the time and no one ever dies. It's silly.
• 31:23
  And then this movie came along where they wanted to sell some more toys
• 31:26
  and they just body mad people. It's super grown. It's like different.
• 31:32
  And then Sports like that, Yeah, that's what I was asking you.
• 31:34
  What was there actually like a because I've heard the be Sports has like a
• 31:38
  storyline through it even has a very cohesist, like a real storyline, and
• 31:42
  yes, more like adult approach to it, and it's still a child's thing.
• 31:47
  Like yeah, I don't remember stuff being goofy. I remember stuff being
• 31:49
  real, like serious, Like there's something about cartoons or animation of that time
• 31:55
  period of like late nineties because like like I'm thinking things like Guard Girls very
• 31:59
  adult. Watch that show, like it was like, oh we wasn' supposed
• 32:01
  to be watching that, um Fox Kids, you know, X Men,
• 32:05
  you know, like even though yet Space Off, the comics Batman, Batman
• 32:08
  Beyond like that, those are some really actually heavy heavy themes, heavy themes,
• 32:16
  heavy storylines, things that people are going through. And I recall be
• 32:22
  sports having serious storylines like like an actual like palatable and something that that has
• 32:29
  some meat to it. I'm heft to it. So uh yes, yeah,
• 32:32
  I don't call it being goofy again besides the animation actually being bad,
• 32:37
  but yeah, I fully believe it because it definitely of that time and I'd
• 32:44
  heard that, and so that's why I was hoping for myself. You know,
• 32:47
  I've never watched that. I was hoping for some of that in this
• 32:51
  film, and to me, it's more like they show up to do action
• 32:53
  scenes and but even then, like I just felt like, and that's really
• 32:58
  what I'm talking about, right, because remember I told you this, this
• 33:00
  to great these films, it's more light, right, Yeah, I'm not
• 33:04
  expecting Hamlet to be told by this, even though in some ways sports sports
• 33:09
  was like that where it was like every week you was getting like some Hamlet
• 33:13
  type of shit, but and this it was just like even in the action
• 33:16
  scenes, I just felt like it was very light on on maximals. It
• 33:21
  was more so you saw Optimists Primal and then air Raiser and then you know,
• 33:27
  then the others like background and even like me being kind of unfamiliar,
• 33:31
  it was more it was more autobots focused too. Yeah, it was more
• 33:34
  auto about focus, is what I'll say, because I just wasn't very familiar.
• 33:37
  Like the air Raisers. She shows up and blows and flame on some
• 33:40
  cats. What I thought, that's when she got down? I thought she
• 33:45
  got down. I don't remember. I just was, okay, you know,
• 33:51
  that's how she gets down. I don't know, you know, so
• 33:52
  I have nolue. And then I was also shocked when they turned into humans
• 33:57
  because our humanoid forms, because I'm like humanoid form. The Maximum every reason
• 34:05
  did not churn into humanoid and the areas didn't, but they did Primal did
• 34:09
  Primal transformed? And so did Cheet Tour humanoid? When did they do that?
• 34:15
  I was watching the same movie. You were you he said maximals,
• 34:20
  no Maximal or something maximized, and they transformed into humanoid forms. Cheet Tour
• 34:29
  had arms and leather was busting people up. I must have blacked out by
• 34:32
  that point, because I don't remember that. But I'm not gonna hold you.
• 34:37
  Like there was the point in the film where like my eyes rolling the
• 34:38
  back of my head, I was like, all right, I'm ready for
• 34:39
  this to be done, because what's your favorite? Fine? I need.
• 34:45
  That might have been the point, because I don't recall it. The only
• 34:46
  one I recalled being humanoid is was RC because r C. That's just how
• 34:51
  she'd be looking from a motorcycle to walking around like a giant neck. Yeah,
• 34:55
  r C. But in fact in the movies, r C was like
• 34:59
  what was she? She was like a truck type thing. No, Cup
• 35:01
  was the truck or C was a motorcycle. Yeah, so that was about
• 35:04
  right. Um, No, these dudes turned into humanoid forms. I'm not
• 35:07
  sure if the bird did, but I know, damn well, I know,
• 35:10
  damn well. The cheet Tour and Optimist probable because Optimis probably turned into
• 35:15
  like a grave about like their robotic forms. Yeah how Optimists Prime turns into
• 35:21
  robot Yes, but I still don't recall that happening. Oh they did it,
• 35:24
  and they did that. When he said, let's they did that?
• 35:29
  I know the Terracons had that form, and I'm saying humanoid. That's why
• 35:32
  I got confused. Okay, robots. So it's like regularly like like let's
• 35:36
  say met forms, right, like yeah, like the terracons did for sure,
• 35:39
  because my man's had like two fucking katanas in his hand that ye storage
• 35:45
  from his homies? Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah. Can they go from
• 35:47
  plane storage? Yeah, niggas had hum Okay, I see if you're saying
• 35:52
  now, okay, so like like like for example, the giant airplane.
• 35:54
  No I'm talking about that ape turned into a man, and I'm talking about
• 35:58
  that cheetor turned into a man. Definitely blacked out on there, but anyway,
• 36:05
  definitely flat out. It was quick. That's I mean, it was
• 36:07
  not you know, it was quick. But there was a scene of that.
• 36:09
  And for fans of these people, you know, I don't understand that
• 36:13
  since they were obviously you know, before they were humans around, I don't
• 36:15
  know why they would need other forms, but fucking they got them. And
• 36:20
  for fans of that, it's you know, it's a good action scene.
• 36:22
  Like you know, you blacked out. I get it because this is towards
• 36:25
  the end and there was a lot going on, but it's always made me
• 36:29
  laugh how much the auto of these robots require the assistance of humans when they
• 36:34
  are ripping each other's heads out off and doing this and doing that. But
• 36:37
  it's like, but I need a human, And then you don't have the
• 36:38
  reason why they're human because I'm too big to go down that hole I walked
• 36:44
  down that that corridor, or I can't fit through that door. I need
• 36:47
  a human. It's literally the only reason, because we are the mice of
• 36:52
  the maze, and it's like, I need a human. Have you ever
• 36:55
  heard of the Headmaster's balls on the chancel? What you know? Ah?
• 37:06
  This is this is I actually watched the documentary on the toys, and this
• 37:08
  is when like their main engineer had left and the struggle years kipped in.
• 37:13
  But at one point they had these Yeah, there was serious struggles the toys.
• 37:17
  And then it's even crazier is that Nigga came back later on and they
• 37:22
  popped again. It was like there was struggles years while he was drawing,
• 37:25
  and then he came back and the toys were instantly on top again. It's
• 37:28
  like Nigga, I am that, you know, Yeah, I'm him.
• 37:31
  But they had the headmasters and I thought they were gonna do the Headmasters.
• 37:37
  I just love saying that in this movie because the headmasters are when little humans
• 37:45
  would get inside the head of the transformer and beat ahead and then like you
• 37:49
  know, power and then didn't get their little power armor like the dude had
• 37:52
  in this movie, and it was the Headmasters. Well, and I just
• 37:57
  feel like somebody Transformers like saying headmasters. I'm laughing because this reminds me of
• 38:02
  something I wanted to say about this film and all these films like that.
• 38:07
  It's so on the nose with everything. Are you telling me they were literally
• 38:09
  called the head Masters, but they was in the head the head masters.
• 38:15
  It's just head masters. I'm gonna put the word done from that. The
• 38:21
  head Oh my god, everything's so freaking on the nose. And had a
• 38:25
  whole run of these Yeah, and I was trying not to jump, but
• 38:29
  we but we're jumping on and the different times this movie has a plot.
• 38:31
  You the plot is Unit gonna eat these niggas. The plot is back in
• 38:44
  the day, there was a key that the transform Back in the day,
• 38:51
  there was the key for this movie. Back the key. Yes, there
• 38:53
  was a key that the Transformers had that would allow them to travel through not
• 38:58
  timing space, but through space. Right. It was like a warp.
• 39:00
  It was a it was a warp core that they could just press the button
• 39:04
  and go to wherever they need to go. Right. One day, one
• 39:07
  day, Unicron, you don't his nigga's name, Unicron pops out doing his
• 39:13
  best um his galactics impression, and they're like, yo, he can't have
• 39:19
  the key because if he has the key, he's gonna have the ability to
• 39:21
  go to any galaxy and slurp up all them galaxies. You know, I'll
• 39:24
  drink your milkshake all that, like a true headmaster. We're so again,
• 39:31
  it's just ridiculous. So the Transformers was like, nah, homie, we
• 39:37
  can't let that shit happen. Less fucking take this ship to another planet.
• 39:40
  Why is always Earth? I don't know, but the Transformers, right,
• 39:46
  it's always Earth. The Transformers escape their planet before Unicron, it's that shit
• 39:52
  like Scooby Snacks, and they end up on Planet Earth. They land on
• 39:57
  Planet Earth like Klo and like and these are the maximals at this point,
• 40:01
  right, So this is this is again a millennial goal or whatever. Right,
• 40:05
  So they basically clear to you, Yes, it was because it's also
• 40:09
  some of it is best worth stuff. Yeah, and I guess I knew
• 40:13
  that, but I didn't, you know, and I figured it out.
• 40:15
  So they again, remember they have this little warp quar key whatever you wanna
• 40:16
  call it. They got the key, they hide it right for millennia,
• 40:21
  right fast forward and now you get to see Dominique, fishback and friends.
• 40:27
  Right Dominique is is. It's Laura Croft, you know, brown skin,
• 40:31
  and she finds an old relic that has a piece of the key in it.
• 40:37
  Alright, thought transform into She finds this piece of the key. Upon
• 40:40
  her finding it, it activates. It sends the beacon out into space,
• 40:45
  which draws Scourge and and and you know, Crown and the rest of them
• 40:47
  to Earth to go get the key. And again this is after who knows
• 40:52
  how long. So the fact that you know it's already up that fast is
• 40:54
  it's crazy to me. So then the transformers also realized that the signal and
• 41:00
  off. They're like, oh man, that's the key. You know,
• 41:01
  we've been on this dumb ass, dirty ass planet for seven years. We
• 41:06
  got a way home. Cucku cool, Let's go get the key. So
• 41:08
  they're trying to get the key. Scourge and friends trying to go get the
• 41:10
  key, and a battle in sues and that's pretty much the entire movie,
• 41:15
  right or the plot. I mean, you forgot Anthony's character getting involved.
• 41:21
  I don't forget because I'm about to get there many So, like I said,
• 41:23
  the Transformers, they need the mice in the maze, right, So
• 41:25
  that's how Anthony comes in, or I call him Antonio start comes in because
• 41:34
  he ends up befriending Mirage and the rest of them, and then he's somehow
• 41:39
  ore cable boxes and yeah, and he you know, he's a good stand
• 41:44
  up guy. He trying to take her of his little brother that got sickly
• 41:46
  sell anemia. And just like I mean, it's just stuff. It's just
• 41:50
  so my stuff that's so random, just thrown in here. Man. Anyway,
• 41:52
  he's a good guy. They established that he befriends the autobox. He
• 41:57
  says, y'all let me help y'all culku cool. They fight, they fight,
• 42:00
  they fight, they fight, Some coul shit happens, some born shit
• 42:02
  happens. And then at the end, this is the part I wanted to
• 42:05
  ask you, Ben, is that like talk about Cannon? Is that in
• 42:08
  the Cannon and lore of Transformers that humans get can get pieces of the autobots,
• 42:13
  and like, yes, this goes back, This goes back to the
• 42:15
  Headmasters even okay, even before the Headmasters. All right, this is like
• 42:21
  we said, this has always been the problem with the Transformers, Like you
• 42:23
  keep saying they need humans, humans, an awesome rice and a maze and
• 42:27
  when you involved him in these stories, these are giant robot where these humans
• 42:30
  should get squished me immediately, Yes, immediately, because it should happen immediately.
• 42:37
  And so in the movie and in the first series, there's a family
• 42:40
  whom I think, what's the name Sheila buff Is plays him, right,
• 42:43
  and plays him in the series UM Sparky Witwicky, the Witwicky Family. Yea,
• 42:51
  yeah, yeah, and Spike I think is a Spike, but it
• 42:54
  was Sam or spark Sam, but his nickname is like spark Sam, spark
• 42:59
  with. So in the UM cartoons, it's is it a boy and his
• 43:07
  dad. I think dad plays a more prominent role and the boy is like
• 43:10
  the main character than everyone, you know, like little kids should be like,
• 43:14
  oh that's me, you know. So throughout the cartoon, this little
• 43:16
  boy it survives death every episode, the dads death every episode. It's ridiculous
• 43:22
  until finally in the movie they finally give him. They give the little boy
• 43:27
  this Exos's dad's old Etso suit that they's playing something, and he gets an
• 43:31
  Exo suit that he can wear and then he can transform into this little car,
• 43:36
  which is super weird because it's this little boy like never reminds me of
• 43:44
  years ago at Comic Con there was a little cosway for a little boy,
• 43:46
  like literally like maybe he was like, oh and to Transformer cosway, and
• 43:52
  I think he was optimist and he might transform into a little tiny opumist.
• 43:55
  He folded up at their role as he folded up for him, you break.
• 44:00
  Yeah, but this dude, this ship, it looked so weird because
• 44:02
  you know, it's like his head is at the front. It's like,
• 44:05
  oh, Batman in the Batmobile, you know when he goes in and he's
• 44:07
  like in the front of the Batmobile. But it's like it's a glass dome.
• 44:10
  So yeah, it's like this little boy it's looking through this glass.
• 44:15
  Looked like he's wearing the vision pros from a driving around. So yes,
• 44:21
  the idea of Anthony's character and that was once again showing in the trailer.
• 44:25
  So no real sadly. Yeah, so so just to finish the story.
• 44:30
  So yeah, man, they got them mice and a maze. They fighting
• 44:32
  and fighting, and you know they finally have to remember I told you y'all
• 44:36
  in the beginning that Optimist stay taking els right until he can't take it no
• 44:38
  more. So he finally gets to that point where it's like damn, you
• 44:42
  know, he on his last ell and Anthony Antonio start he pop out and
• 44:47
  it's like, yo, I got the I got the power, right,
• 44:50
  So he got this exo suit on, he going ham On Unicron, of
• 44:54
  all people, of all things, you get on ham On Scourge and Unicron.
• 44:59
  I don't know how you got the touch, but he is. And
• 45:01
  he basically he basically boosts up Optimists like you know what, fuck this shit,
• 45:07
  I'm gonna go in. And then you know, optimists wins at the
• 45:08
  end. Yeah, and uh Miurage was also taking them elves and he's the
• 45:14
  one who hands at all. Yeah, Murage basically sheds his body parts and
• 45:19
  puts and and and abuse uh Diaz with all of this stuff. Touch.
• 45:27
  So yeah, that's but that was one of my favorite Yeah, yeah in
• 45:31
  a tight beat, that's one of my favorite parts of the movie because he
• 45:36
  gets his whole suit the fucking fire and then tries to take on Sturge and
• 45:40
  has no effect at all. And I like that not movie that like pretty
• 45:47
  much cast realism out the door, Like again, how are you gonna be
• 45:51
  real with stuff like that? But to a degree, right, So they
• 45:53
  actually did really good because they showed him getting the Mex suit and then also
• 45:59
  not being able to true he controlled it quite great. Yea, he learns
• 46:01
  very quickly. And they explained that a way by saying he's the soldiers and
• 46:06
  he's very bright with machines and he's an engineer, so he'll figure it out.
• 46:09
  Okay, fine, cool, whatever, But that was to your point,
• 46:13
  that was like the cooler scene. I was like, Okay, this
• 46:15
  actually looks good, Like he looked like the back his suit looked good,
• 46:19
  and like it was believable the shit he was doing. Right, Yeah,
• 46:22
  it was enough of the mechanics and robotics moving in the right places to make
• 46:25
  it believable. Yeah, and where he's not like taking out a tread from
• 46:29
  or all by right right, right, and he was helped like he was
• 46:31
  like he was helping. He wasn't taking you know, and it's also again
• 46:36
  back to be in front of me. I was like, Optimist, you
• 46:37
  couldn't do this shit before, Like, you know, so this little guy
• 46:39
  with this little pup laser is going in on Scourge, but you know you
• 46:44
  just letting Scourge hand you you like that, like come on, my guys.
• 46:47
  I don't know. And it was also kind of unexplained because it was
• 46:50
  like at one point Sturge their powered by Unicorn and because of that, he's
• 46:53
  unbeatable. And then Unicorn is still around and Spurge just gets beat you know,
• 46:59
  you just gets served, And I'm like, what so anyway, I
• 47:01
  don't know. I was the one thing I was upset about was the crowd
• 47:06
  went so hamn and Optimists is already like that. I couldn't really understand what
• 47:12
  he was saying. Is he was finished. I know what he was chewing
• 47:16
  on Scourge's ear, and I know he had some sweet shit to say,
• 47:20
  and I'm just like, damn it, now, I gotta say nothing he
• 47:22
  didn't say earlier. He was like, remember early, he's not gonna take
• 47:24
  ahead as he did that he said, I'm tired of your monkey ass,
• 47:28
  Like that's basically, well, I gotta I will definitely watch this hole on
• 47:31
  T ANDT just to hear what Optimist says again, because I loved you know,
• 47:36
  I love that. So I say all that to say, look,
• 47:43
  you know what you went for when you come to see a movie like this.
• 47:45
  I hope you do. I hope you're not coming in here to see
• 47:47
  the top of all cinema. It's not. It's yo. Do you like
• 47:52
  transformers? Do you like seeing robots fight? Do you like some cute one
• 47:57
  liners here and there? Like cool? Here you go was the pipom My
• 48:00
  ride of summer movies? Yeah, hurt, we like transformers, so we
• 48:06
  got some more transformers and animals. Animals, Yeah, I would say,
• 48:10
  I would say, people like you who know a lot about like g one
• 48:14
  Gen one, that's why and all that stuff, like like people behind me.
• 48:19
  There was a group of guys behind me where like anytime, like it
• 48:22
  was like certain obviously the iconic lines like more than me, they robots and
• 48:27
  guys like that was looped into I didn't know. I didn't know anything about
• 48:31
  that, but man, man's behind me was feeling it. He's like,
• 48:36
  yeah, look, I can't lie if you grew up with that first movie
• 48:39
  till all Our One is up there with like this is the way, you
• 48:44
  know, it's up there with anything like till are one is a you know
• 48:47
  that that's an ill idea too, you know, till all our one,
• 48:51
  you know, like and maybe that was around when I started Watchingsform, but
• 48:54
  I don't remember. So the point is, like it's really to me this
• 48:58
  the real target audience is like g one people, and then people who just
• 49:04
  want to see robots fight, and people who want to see an animal robots
• 49:07
  fight, which I think there's gonna be a lot of people, sure,
• 49:10
  y, yeah, sure, and also Bumbabee fans, which is like everybody,
• 49:14
  a lot of people for some reason at the end of the day.
• 49:16
  You know, I'm a Bummabee fan. So I mean, like I love
• 49:20
  this first movie, and I love Bobb and b throughout these movies, and
• 49:22
  I loved him from the original joint. I can't lie. He actually he
• 49:25
  gets murdered at one point two and come back, as I want to say,
• 49:29
  like Goldbug or something, and I like Goldbug too. Goldbot was probably
• 49:34
  ill. And then they said thought that after a while I was at the
• 49:37
  Bumbabee Yeah. I enjoyed myself the most when there was fighting. When the
• 49:43
  girls were fighting, I was enjoying myself the most, and I was into
• 49:45
  because it was brutal and it was good. Yeah, fight scenes was brutal
• 49:51
  and good and it was like heavy machinery, heavy artillery. Okay, let's
• 49:55
  get it. I was with it. When people was talking and trying to
• 49:59
  explain stuff, I was again eyes rolling behind my head. I just was
• 50:01
  like, all right, I don't really care. And it's not even like
• 50:06
  it's not even like a solid, solid storyline about the people's stuff. The
• 50:08
  only thing, my only real if you can even call it, that complaint
• 50:14
  was like kind of a forced love or a forced the affection to me between
• 50:21
  nobody asked and Elena Wallace, um Anthony and Dominique's characters, Like it was
• 50:27
  like like even when it was happening around me, was like yeah, um
• 50:34
  yea. Even the people around me they were like, what, like,
• 50:37
  so he loves her now? Like it was just weird, weird because it
• 50:39
  came out of nowhere. There was I mean this, even her leaning her
• 50:43
  head on him. It was weird. Like they basically they tried to say,
• 50:45
  oh, you know, they've been through so much a couple, but
• 50:47
  like there was there was no chemistry in that way, like they weren't really
• 50:52
  a couple either because she left. No, they were never a couple,
• 50:54
  right, but they try to but you could tell they were trying to push
• 50:58
  a romantic chemistry. I'm just like, no, no, bra, she's
• 51:01
  she's Laura Croft and he's a soldier, Like come on, yeah, No,
• 51:05
  there was nothing there, And yeah, I feel I think that was
• 51:07
  completely unnecessary and kind of came off like what you know, it was just
• 51:12
  I misplaced in random But I mean, and like I said, if you
• 51:14
  won't even call that complaint, I just it's really just something that I noticed
• 51:16
  that was annoying. But everything else was like what I expected, Like its
• 51:22
  transformed from what I'm saying. And you know, again, kudos to Toby
• 51:25
  in new way. He did very well as Reek. I mean, I
• 51:28
  think this was his first acting No, no, he's I'm not sure what
• 51:32
  first film, probably because his first that I've seen him in. He was
• 51:38
  in He's in the series Mo on Netflix along with Moo mir is a comedian
• 51:43
  friend. Oh, he was on Rap Shit too. Did he play himself
• 51:45
  though? But he was, Yes, he plays himself on Rap Shit and
• 51:49
  doesn't even have a line to the Yeah, and yes, you're right.
• 51:54
  He played mo on mo mir show. He played all Moo me your show
• 52:00
  mode. Right, okay, okay, yeah, I camera shared his name.
• 52:05
  But this seems like this is his first feature film. Yeah, definitely,
• 52:07
  okay, bid money. Yeah. I mean, like I said that,
• 52:10
  there's enough like pedestrian comedy and stuff like that for here, and you
• 52:15
  know that's what it is. Yeah, it's you know, it's cute.
• 52:19
  You know, it's like this is like you say, this is a Transformers
• 52:22
  film. Through and through, I feel like, like I say, I
• 52:24
  had to see bumble Bee again, but I feel like Bumblebee is still the
• 52:28
  best of the Transformers films. And then I feel like they got better once
• 52:32
  Michael Bay realized that they shouldn't all the like gray hunking metal and should look
• 52:37
  more colorful, colorful, yeah, so you can identify them in fights.
• 52:40
  And once they did that changeover, it's been like just varying degrees of you
• 52:45
  know, okayish right right, right, right right, yeah. And I
• 52:49
  think because it doesn't have the returning characters like Fast and Furious, where it's
• 52:53
  created a family where I can't wait to see what stupid shit tyres and Ludricas
• 52:58
  did into this episode that because of that, it's like it's missing that super
• 53:02
  ship. It's dumb and you know, it's don I'm gonna die and go
• 53:07
  to heaven this one and we're gonna go to hell this time, you know,
• 53:09
  like what's gonna happen? But because I know these characterists and that's what
• 53:14
  this series is really missing, I feel like I think I just really can't
• 53:17
  because otherwise I think this could be understand level Fast and Furious, where you
• 53:21
  would have those one movies where you're like, yo, like Fast and Furious,
• 53:23
  what is it? Seven is the one for me? Five when they
• 53:28
  five when they go to Brazil, the that ship and the bank robbery,
• 53:31
  that ship's insane. Well yeah, like, oh you mean like the creativity
• 53:35
  in that part right, we're talking about like the love of heart and the
• 53:37
  strength of seven is like seven is the when I break down. Seven and
• 53:42
  seven is the one where I was like, Okay, this is cinema,
• 53:45
  you know what I'm saying, Like that's the one where I'm just like,
• 53:46
  all right, this is this is strongest and yeah, and then they've had
• 53:52
  ten these joints, so we just named two. You know, it's like
• 53:55
  the rest felt like, oh, you know, there was that scene,
• 53:59
  you know, and then there's this other scene and then you know, yeah,
• 54:01
  that's it. So I think Transformers, if they're going to keep this
• 54:05
  dooring, which obviously by the end twist they are, and they're trying to
• 54:08
  pimp this universe out, they just need to bring people like Anthony back,
• 54:13
  you know, they need to and they used to come back up in this
• 54:16
  hope, and they should because these people make sense in the context of Transformers
• 54:22
  history, right, Like dominic I said, you know, she's a historian,
• 54:25
  right, and she she likes to do research and stuff, and there
• 54:29
  there's clearly, as I mentioned, like the Maximals and the Transformers been here
• 54:32
  for a minute, so there's the history behind that, and then all the
• 54:35
  different types of Transformers, so she could be, um, you know,
• 54:37
  make the Topi area transformers. I don't know. And then as you mentioned
• 54:42
  Anthony ramost him being a soldier and having that, you know, and having
• 54:49
  let's talk about it, we're you know, we're towards the end of this.
• 54:51
  You know, this is the big spoiler. Even though it's been out
• 54:53
  sadly since May twenty eighth on the internet at the Earth at the latest of
• 54:59
  your earliest. I know about the least first thing came up on Google search
• 55:02
  at the very end of the film. I think this other character is from
• 55:07
  the Transformers films as well, or maybe he's from the actual other franchise.
• 55:09
  Am about to mention spoiler alert again before we say this. At the end
• 55:14
  of the film, Anthony Ramos's character is offered a position with g I Joe,
• 55:19
  the real American heroes, themselves both owned by Hasbro, so the crossover
• 55:24
  had to happen eventually. That I saw coming a mile away. I mean
• 55:29
  Soon's man sat down. I said that, And first of all, is
• 55:31
  what's his face from House of Cards? Yeah? Um, what's his name?
• 55:36
  The chief of staff from House of Cards. But um, once I
• 55:39
  saw his face, I was like, he's giving he's giving Gi Joe vibes.
• 55:44
  I was like, watch that card. And I said that. I
• 55:45
  said watch that card to a Gi Joe and everybody was like, Oh,
• 55:49
  no, that's not gonna that's not gonna say that. The damn there and
• 55:51
  credits roll and they said, gis I said, I told you, look,
• 55:53
  it's right there. Yeah, it was pretty well telegraphed. I still
• 56:00
  didn't think, you know, I didn't. By that point, I was
• 56:01
  just with you, like, let be yeah, So I didn't read,
• 56:06
  you know, I was like whatever, you know, cool, okay,
• 56:07
  sudden, even when he flipped the card and everybody selps streaming like I won't
• 56:12
  mind, because I mean, I'm like even more than Transformers, I'm a
• 56:15
  huge gijro head, like the Giro original comic shout out to the god Larry
• 56:20
  Hammer is one of the best prominent chover read, you know, like he
• 56:23
  turned a toy and made an incredible comic out of it. And so if
• 56:28
  they ever got to that level in the films, like if Snake Eyes the
• 56:31
  movies were ever close to how ill Snake Eyes story is in the comics,
• 56:37
  i'd be all for it. But it just hasn't happened yet, and I
• 56:39
  have low hopes for it ever happening. So when they flipped the card over,
• 56:44
  I was like, oh fuck, yeah, here we go again,
• 56:46
  yeah wash, here we go again. Yeah yeah. And I was hoping.
• 56:54
  You know, I'm hoping every time because I'm gonna walk down the road.
• 56:57
  I've seen all the movies, you know, if they do it a
• 57:00
  new generation, so they're gonna try again again you know, we're in a
• 57:06
  new generation Z. Snake movie was like four years ago at most. It
• 57:12
  was more than that. It was right before a pandemic, right before Yeah,
• 57:15
  they did a snake out because they were trying to do that, you
• 57:19
  know, they have to be the new series. There'd be snake eyes and
• 57:21
  then they called the Origins and then they yep, wow, not even two
• 57:25
  years ago. See what I mean. That's even the pandemic messed up time
• 57:29
  in the space man. I thought it was like fol but yeah too wow.
• 57:34
  So no, that droid flopped completely and it was not that good,
• 57:38
  you know, and they set it up like for sequels because and that when
• 57:44
  he don't put on the damn mask to the end of the movie, which
• 57:45
  was like yet another filling mistake. Like yo, that that movie felt like
• 57:50
  one of them early superhero movies because it's like they didn't want to have him
• 57:52
  in the match this. Yeah, it's like why would you do this?
• 57:54
  Like yeah, yeah, so I couldn't say that that hyped me up.
• 58:00
  And I don't see Anthony Ramos being the type let's they're like, yo,
• 58:04
  here's all the money and leave this franchise. I can't see him coming back.
• 58:07
  For gi Jo you know what I mean. So let's stay like,
• 58:10
  WHOA can't see the again they're trying to I can't see gibout that wave.
• 58:16
  I thought I thought Gi Joe wave was over again. I just mentioned,
• 58:21
  you know, maybe they're trying to do it again for gen Z because you
• 58:22
  know it feels like every generation they got to redo stuff. Yeah, because
• 58:27
  you know they have the IP or they're trying to keep the IP alive,
• 58:32
  not really checking for I mean telling me you're really checking for Gijoe like that
• 58:37
  twenty four now twenty three, it'll be like twenty twenty five before I come
• 58:40
  out. Like I could, I could kind of understand trans Like I don't
• 58:43
  even if there's any Transformers cartoons out right now, but I could kind of
• 58:45
  understand Transformers because at the end of the day, a giant robot is a
• 58:47
  giant robot. It's always gonna be room for that. Oh, they've been
• 58:51
  pumping them out. They had a trilogy of movies on Netflix. I want
• 58:54
  to say last year that was really good. They still pumped them hose out.
• 58:59
  It's see to sell a giant robot. Yeah, middle age soldiers,
• 59:05
  American soldiers mostly, what how are you selling that out, well, you
• 59:10
  could sell it if you did it like uh, Mission impossible, you know
• 59:15
  what I mean, American Mission Impossible? Could that for Gidro should be it
• 59:20
  shouldn't be soldiers. They'd do like the impossible missions with ill tech. Cobra
• 59:24
  should be like this super futuristic tech stuff. You know, you should see
• 59:29
  like the illest like camouflage suits, you know, and you know, I
• 59:32
  don't know, three D lasers and I guess girl, yeah, I mean,
• 59:37
  I look, I'm just trying to give hope. Like you didn't like
• 59:39
  Mission Impossible, I'd be down for it. Put Snake Eyes up in there
• 59:43
  on some Mission Impossible ship, or just do ninjas, you know, dude,
• 59:45
  Dude, like could like this thing sneak Eys is like when he gets
• 59:50
  really ills about his whole family and his whole family, this Ninja clan he
• 59:52
  belongs to, and his relationship with storm Shadow and a few other characters like
• 59:58
  Starlett. So that's what I would do. I would just focused on I
• 1:00:00
  mean, I say, always focused on the Snake Eyes and Starlett love story.
• 1:00:05
  And then they tried they did the whole movie, I know, but
• 1:00:07
  it just they didn't do Once again, they did not do it because they
• 1:00:09
  had this pretty boy playing snake eyes and that's not snakes snake oys jets.
• 1:00:13
  His face ruined and that's when this character starts. And that's when you know
• 1:00:16
  him from that, you know. And that's why it's so dope because Starlett,
• 1:00:20
  this beautiful woman, loves him even though he tries to be distant from
• 1:00:23
  her because he don't think, you know, he's worthy of love. It's
• 1:00:25
  like it's easily written, bro, if you do it, you know,
• 1:00:30
  you know, you know what this is the world smallifiling. Yeah, like
• 1:00:35
  I say, the comments will always be there, you know, that's all
• 1:00:37
  you know. So that's why I'm like, I'm not stressing heavens, Like
• 1:00:40
  go read them comments for them, they're always break um. One last thing
• 1:00:45
  I did want to mention. I don't know if you have anything else,
• 1:00:47
  but I did want to talk about the music, because this is based in
• 1:00:50
  the nineties and ninety four, I think you said, and it was like,
• 1:00:53
  that's fun of the big features, like even on the Red Carpet they're
• 1:00:55
  pumping out the jams and based in Brooklyn and Brooklyn and and and oddly enough
• 1:01:01
  Machu Picchu in Peru. Yeah, what I'm saying. It's just like I'd
• 1:01:08
  be saying the elements of the movie. You'd be like, wait what but
• 1:01:13
  yes. And also also just just a side note, shouts to Dominique Fishback,
• 1:01:16
  who is from East New York, Brooklyn. I believe Anthony is also
• 1:01:21
  from Brooklyn. I'm not sure. Not bed Star from Brownsville. Yeah,
• 1:01:25
  no, not Brownsville. What's the other one to be? It's far more
• 1:01:30
  not benson Hurst. I thought. I was like, maybe Brownsville. I
• 1:01:36
  don't know, but they're both from Brooklyn. So and that's that also reasoning
• 1:01:40
  for why it was the premiere of New York was in Brooklyn, you know,
• 1:01:44
  versus somewhere else, which was dope. You know that that was a
• 1:01:47
  nice difference. Yeah, traffic was hell, but it was very dope being
• 1:01:51
  in Brooklyn, you know what I mean. That was ill and that Peens
• 1:01:53
  Theater, that whole situation was so beautiful. Yeah. So, but the
• 1:01:58
  music was on point, you know for the most part. I have to
• 1:02:01
  say, like I give it about an eight to ten, especially for me
• 1:02:05
  in nineties, you know, like the use of cool like that by Digital
• 1:02:09
  Playtiffs was incredible for that scene. I thought that was great. And it
• 1:02:13
  was like how it fell on beat, which I'm always a fan of when
• 1:02:16
  editing stuff like that. It is overall, I thought the music, especially
• 1:02:20
  for being nineties while not you know, it wasn't like two Underground like they
• 1:02:24
  could have gone, you know, you gotta keep it pop from movies like
• 1:02:27
  this. They still had some choice cuts that weren't like just a typical they
• 1:02:30
  Egle Beastie Boys and shit like that. Obviously, you know, they went
• 1:02:35
  like they went to hypnotize out of Biggie, you know, but that's you
• 1:02:37
  know, it's it's a hit, yea. You know, so I would
• 1:02:39
  have preferred some other, you know, more underground biggie cut. But like
• 1:02:44
  I said, cool like that by Diggbo planiffs was though I can't remember everything.
• 1:02:46
  Oh they had a nas represent which is a that's an album cut,
• 1:02:50
  straight up. So that was the you know, that's a straight up album
• 1:02:52
  cut that was never a single. And that's like one of them hard joints.
• 1:02:57
  Yeah, yeah, that's Premier getting a chest. So I'd love to
• 1:02:59
  see that is that large professor one of them too greats. Try to check
• 1:03:01
  there. That was great cream, a bunch of other you know, some
• 1:03:05
  classic dr Yeah, yeah, so music, you like the setting overall good
• 1:03:09
  music, The graphics was good. Yeah, I will say that. You
• 1:03:15
  know it wasn't babies, boy, they think the collateral damage is. Don't
• 1:03:22
  all that historical site things the collateral damage collateral damage because they're not hurting at
• 1:03:29
  least you don't see them hurting people. That historical is. But the historicals
• 1:03:32
  oh man, all your temples, but that's like a traditional transform. They
• 1:03:37
  within egy of fucking the pyramids though, like fucking the ships up boy left
• 1:03:43
  him right. Yeah, so structural damage on ten. Yeah, I like
• 1:03:49
  the graphic, the cg all that that worked out could generally it looked sometimes
• 1:03:54
  the Optimists version of Optimists looks weird than the head to me that the headspace's
• 1:03:59
  weird face looks a little weird, like look a little skinty to me,
• 1:04:02
  I don't like that. I like, I like big face Optimist. But
• 1:04:04
  anyway, yeah, most of the boxes everybody looked good. Barge was dope,
• 1:04:10
  Maarrage was dope. You said themarage was dope. Yes. The usage
• 1:04:15
  of the powers of the or the abilities of the different bots were well.
• 1:04:19
  I would say that they were well showcased. So if a bot could fly.
• 1:04:23
  It was well showcase it could fly, because if if a box had
• 1:04:26
  none chucks or whatever the fuck, it was well it was. Yes,
• 1:04:30
  it was well expressed. And I will say that, like like the personalities,
• 1:04:34
  the powers, and and the the features of each bot were shown prominently
• 1:04:39
  the ones that you did get to see because it was generally the same five
• 1:04:42
  or six ones, but they did it well. Yeah. I like that
• 1:04:46
  one with the mace. Yeah, man, it's with the mace. Like
• 1:04:49
  the he was like the toad truck Yeah he was yeah that truck. Yeah,
• 1:04:54
  yeah, he was ill. He was definitely ill. And like,
• 1:04:57
  like you said, all the action and the different usages, the usages of
• 1:05:00
  their abilities during the action when fighting, I was, I was awake when
• 1:05:05
  anything else happening. I was like, all right, so yeah, I
• 1:05:10
  would you recommend this movie if you're a fan of the Transformers, Yes,
• 1:05:14
  in the story. If I not, I agree with that we're gonna be
• 1:05:20
  If not, it's tough. It's tough for me to say, yeah,
• 1:05:24
  you know, I don't have anything else to add. Been I think that's
• 1:05:30
  pretty much it for me as well. I want to thank everyone, you
• 1:05:33
  know, and shout out to everybody who was at the Red Harper premiere.
• 1:05:38
  That ship was amazing. It was very dope. You had a great time
• 1:05:41
  out there. Um, thank you for bringing us for the teens theater.
• 1:05:45
  Uh. Like I said, if you're a fan of Transformers, Joe chet
• 1:05:47
  this joint. If not during this summer when there's a lot of good stuff
• 1:05:53
  out, I can't say you can put this off the top of your list.
• 1:05:56
  But if you're a fan of big robots hitting each other, I'd say,
• 1:05:58
  you know, fucking I don't know what else big robots hitting each other
• 1:06:00
  movie, you're gonna get the summer, so go for it, you know,
• 1:06:03
  Like, yeah, they ain't a specific rim or Robotech coming out this
• 1:06:06
  summer, so man, you know, yeah, that's another see specific rim
• 1:06:12
  Actually, and I missed Robotech because, like I know, it was an
• 1:06:15
  anime transformed to America, but like that would like we've watched at the same
• 1:06:19
  time Transformers, and even as kids, if you were like this, you
• 1:06:21
  know trans Persformers has nothing on Robotech because Robotech niggas getting shot dying. Yeah,
• 1:06:28
  it was terrible. So for a little kid, that ship was just
• 1:06:30
  like because I didn't know the difference. It was just a cartoon that came
• 1:06:32
  on and it was like in this cart to Roy the chest and dies.
• 1:06:36
  It's different. It's very much a bit different. I didn't know until later
• 1:06:41
  on I found out. You know, I understand now, but yeah,
• 1:06:44
  yeah, so yeah, but if you're a fan of big robots, you
• 1:06:46
  know, mindless action, you just want to get out the heat for a
• 1:06:49
  few hours, the heat, you know what I mean. Sometimes that's all
• 1:06:55
  you want. And like this is that movie, like wait, we're just
• 1:07:00
  fast FiOS already came out, already came out. See you what I mean?
• 1:07:02
  They front Low Boy ain't already because I still ain't even seeing that all
• 1:07:05
  yet. I haven't either, and it seems like next week is going to
• 1:07:10
  streaming. Yeah, so I'm like, well, damn, I might not
• 1:07:12
  see it in the theater at all. Damn, Frank, I gave you
• 1:07:15

• 1:10:40
  true, indeed I do have a little thing. I mean, thank
• 1:10:42
  you to everybody who's already done this. But if you can and you're listening
• 1:10:45
  still, please go to your local Comma book shop, your local bookstore,
• 1:10:50
  or your big, you know, corporate owned giant of a store like Barnes
• 1:10:55
  and Noble, or you can hit up the monster that is Amazon dot com
• 1:10:59
  and please pre order my first ever graphic novel, Jimmy Hendricks Purple Hayes,
• 1:11:08
  written by Moore and my brother Mellow Marketer Mellow Brown, with art by the
• 1:11:14
  legend himself, Tom man Drake. Created in conjunction with the Jimmy Hendricks Estate.
• 1:11:23
  This is an original graphic novel featuring Jimmy Hendricks as you've never seen him
• 1:11:29
  before. It's a metaphorical tale of Jimmy in space, and it is an
• 1:11:35
  afrofuturistic sci fi fantasy type story featured around black music and the power of black
• 1:11:45
  music and the revolution that it inspires throughout the ages. It's, to me,
• 1:11:51
  personally, the greatest thing I've ever written. I'm beyond proud of this
• 1:11:56
  book. I just every day gets closer to release, and every day I
• 1:12:00
  get more and more excited as well, about to throw up in my mouth.
• 1:12:04
  I've been calling myself the Willie Beaman of comic books because that's how I
• 1:12:10
  feel right now. I just cannot believe that this is happening still right now,
• 1:12:14
  So please don't pre order it and make it more real for me.
• 1:12:16
  I promise you it's so worth it. Even if I didn't write it,
• 1:12:19
  I would tell you that the art by Tom Man Drake alone is worth the
• 1:12:24
  price of emission. Absolutely it's sick. I mean, just beyond phenomenal light.
• 1:12:30
  There are not enough adjectives in the Adil Satan subscribe. Whether he's been
• 1:12:34
  doing this, man is a legend and people have seen it say and he
• 1:12:38
  says that this is some of his best work ever. So I've seen some
• 1:12:43
  of it and I'm blown away. Yeah, I'm still waiting on some of
• 1:12:46
  the last pages to come in. I can't wait for it. I've seen
• 1:12:49
  the first well, I've seen three colored pages now. So it's all coming
• 1:12:54
  together and it's available available for pre order now, So please go out and
• 1:12:59
  do that. Dropping November seven, Yes, dropping November seventh. Yes,
• 1:13:05
  Please pre order though as soon as you can, because pre ordering is so
• 1:13:10
  important to the sales and to whether or not we'll get to do sequels,
• 1:13:14
  and just to everything with comic books. If you love a comic book,
• 1:13:17
  it does the best to pre order. Don't treat it like video games,
• 1:13:21
  where I say do not pre order, I definitely say pre order comic books
• 1:13:25
  because you know, like stores, everything depend on orders from knowing how many
• 1:13:30
  orders they need, all this type of stuff. So please, especially if
• 1:13:35
  you you know have a local Comma Books store going there, tell them call
• 1:13:40
  them up, tweet them whatever. Hit up anyone comics in Brooklyn, They'll
• 1:13:44
  ship it to you nationwide. Say yo, I need Jimmy Hendricks, Purple
• 1:13:47
  Hayes, anyone comments, Please hit me up, send it to me.
• 1:13:51
  Yes, tell them for our Nerds sent you word that. Yeah. Absolutely,
• 1:13:57
